This wand-buying trip was full of twists and turns, but the result was good. At least Leon got his own wand, but the rest of the journey made Leon feel a little uncomfortable.
After Dumbledore saw Professor McGonagall, he said goodbye to Leon and left, so Leon joined Professor McGonagall's team and traveled with the Granger family. Hermione was one of the reasons for Leon's headache.
"Were you born into a Muggle family? Did your parents not believe it when you received the invitation?”
"That was Principal Dumbledore, right? He actually visited your house personally and brought you out. Aren't your parents worried?”
"Where do you live? My dad is a dental doctor. If you have any dental problems in the future, you can come to my family's clinic.”
"Do you know anything about Hogwarts? What kind of place is that?"
Faced with Miss Granger who seemed to be walking with a hundred thousand questions, Leon felt his head buzzing. In the end, he chose to answer,""I'm sorry, I'm an orphan. I don't need my family's permission to study, and I don't have anyone to sell teaching materials with me, much less money to find a dental practitioner.”
Leon had thought that Hermione was stupid and should have avoided the question and stopped nagging, but the next second, he felt that he was wrong.
Professor McGonagall, who was leading the way, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who were following closely behind, had been paying attention to the two little guys behind them. Leon's answer was not hidden, so naturally, the three of them heard it clearly.
"Oh, poor child."
"Child, your name is Chris, right? You don't mind if I call you Leon, do you?”
Mr. and Mrs. Granger were the first to speak, and the emotional Ms. Granger hugged Leon, who was about the same height as her.
"Child, you are always welcome to my house. You and Hermione are going to the same magic school. We don't know much about magic, and we are very worried about this child.”
Mr. Granger also added. Although he was not as exaggerated as Ms. Granger, his voice was gentle.
Professor McGonagall also said,""Child, I forgot to tell you. If there's anything in school in the future, you can contact me.”
Leon scratched his head. He didn't expect his words to make the three adults so excited. However, considering that there were two women among them, and Mr. Granger was also an outstanding and gentlemanly English man, it seemed that the identity of an orphan was indeed quite lethal.
Leon wasn't a stubborn boy without EQ. He had grown a lot more mature in his forties.
He thanked the Granger couple and Professor McGonagall for their concern, but he didn't reject their kindness. After all, it was difficult for a person to move forward. At the very least, Leon, who didn't have his own foundation and strength, needed some external help. This was a good thing, and it wasn't embarrassing.
Hermione, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed that her question had caused a slightly awkward and sad conversation. She said to Leon apologetically,"I'm sorry, I didn't know about you.”
"It's alright." Leon smiled and didn't mind. He wasn't sensitive to this topic. If he had transmigrated, he might feel uncomfortable with his parents. After all, he was an adult soul with a mature mind. However, without his parents, it was also a kind of relaxation.
As for the old hunter who adopted him, Leon felt that they were more like friends. The old hunter taught Leon hunting techniques, and Leon helped the old hunter hunt enough prey for the two of them to live on. Strictly speaking, the two of them were mutually beneficial.
The atmosphere was a little dull for the rest of the journey. The Granger couple tried their best to help Leon with their kindness, but they were surprised to find that Leon was more mature than a teenager. If they ignored Leon's appearance and height, they even thought that the person they were talking to was a mature middle-aged man.
"Don't you like ice cream?" Hermione was holding a stick of ice cream from Bobo's Tea Magic Ice Cream Shop, licking it as she asked Leon in confusion. Mr. Granger had wanted to buy one for Leon, but Leon had refused without hesitation.
"I'm not interested in this thing. If there's a chili flavor, maybe I'll try it.”Leon shook his head. He was a fan of strong flavors. He had no taste for sour or sweet food. Chili and heavy oil and salt were his standards.
"Don't you think that the way you speak is very similar to a retired old grandpa?”Hermione complained. Even though she had just met Leon, she was not a shy girl.
"Perhaps." Leon did not refute Hermione's words. After all, psychologically, he really could not accept disguising himself as a child in his early teens. After all, his mental age was seriously over the limit.
Faced with Leon's perfunctory way of talking, Hermione could not help but frown. She had a feeling that Leon was accommodating her like a child, and this feeling became more and more obvious as the two of them communicated.
It wasn't until they were at Flourish and Blotts together to buy all the textbooks for the first year that Hermione was shocked to find that Leon's wallet could actually produce a large amount of Galleons.
"Why is there no sign of your wallet swelling even after putting so many gold coins in it? Moreover, your entire hand is in it. The wallet is obviously only this big.”
"You already have a wand. Is science really that important?”Leon complained.
"But there should be some similarities. Even if it's magic, there are traces to follow.”retorted Hermione defiantly.
"Perhaps. The end of science is theology.”Leon said perfunctorily. That familiar catchphrase made Hermione finally unable to hold it in.
"You're just treating me like a child again!”
"Aren't you a child?" Leon teased.
"But you're not much older than me.”retorted Hermione, hands on her hips.
"Age is not a sign of maturity. When you have seen more and encountered more, even if you are still a child, your high thinking and way of doing things can make you face everything more calmly.”After saying that, Leon left Flourish and Blotts, completely ignoring the exasperated Hermione behind him.
It was not that he was impatient with Hermione, but that he had just received a sudden reminder from the paywall system.
"The host has obtained the original incantation book. The time-limited UP card pool has been updated. The probability of all books in the card pool containing incantations has greatly increased!”
